After a bit of a rough start with the heat not turning on and the wifi password incorrect, we ended up having a wonderful time. The unit was as described, right in the heart of town and just steps from everything. It was clean, updated and comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A bit of a warning -- if steps bother you, this is not the place for you as the kitchen is on first floor, the living room on second, and the master and only bathroom are on the third. But it is nicely updated and the location can't be beat!

Wonderful property, very comfortable and well located. Large, fully equipped kitchen; lounge ideal for films or games; big master bedroom and small second bedroom with bunks. Only downside is that one bathroom isn't really enough if the house is fully occupied.

This property is in an excellent location. It's clean and tidy. Perfect for either a couple or small family. Beautifully presented. It was a little strange to find soap was not provided. Neither was there any tea or coffee. We used the dishwasher mostly, but did wash some dishes and again, strange that there were no tea towels to dry the dishes.These were just small inconveniences and overall the property was very good.

Could be so much nicer

Little elms was in prime position in this stunning village but a lack of attention to detail spoils it . Things like the freezer section in the smeg freezer was dirty and hadn’t been cleaned out with spillage evident. There were no waste bins upstairs in the lounge or bedrooms so you had to treck downstairs. There was nowhere to place anything on in the bathroom , a small unit would be helpful . There wasn’t even a towel rail , or any hand soap .. just very basic . The lounge lacked warmth and sadly looked and felt cold , it just lacked a few finishing touches that could make this lovely house more like a comfortable home to spend a few days in . The bed was comfortable but the top cover was stained and generally looked grubby . The kitchen was very well equipped although we didn’t cook . The downstairs cellar area again wasn’t great with a dehumidifier running constantly that could be heard . I think the price we paid for little elms was fair . Although we had a nice stay in the area I wouldn’t stay in this particular rental again

It was ok. Clean overall but the freezer had leftover bag of ice and a strand of hair. Only one bathroom with max 2 flushes. You have to wait a few before you can flush again. Probably need a bigger tank. With the weather, I suggest having fans available, maybe a ceiling fan in the master and stand fan in the second room. It gets pretty loud outside since it's a torurist area so leaving the windows open for air is not always ideal. The front door is glass with no roll down shade so a few walking outside peeked in, which is weird.

Great stay in Stow

This was our first time in the Cotswolds and we couldn’t have picked a better place. The location was perfect, easy access to everything and right on the main square. The house was so well designed and had so much space. We loved every room. We’d stay there again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful Stay

We rented Little Elms for 7 nights and used Stow as our base for exploring The Cotswolds. Little Elms was perfect—it had all of the amenities we needed and its location on Market Square puts you right in the middle of the shops and pubs. We would highly recommend a stay here!

Two night stay at Little Elms at Stow

The house was ideally located in a quiet spot on Market Square with free parking outside and a short walk to all of the local amenities. The house was clean and comfortable and equipped with everything needed. We had a nice stay with no issues.

Great stay at Little Elms

We really enjoyed our stay at the Little Elms. It's such a beautiful and comfortable apartment Catherine would have liked some blinds on the kitchen windows for privacy but otherwise everything was first class

Very nice property in a great location with all facilities as described, no where really to dry bath towels and needs a tray as lounge is not on same floor as kitchen, but small complaints considering it is a lovely property.

Are stay at little elms

Lovely cottage, great location and very spacious It would benefit from having the blinds put back up in the kitchen and on the front door, did feel it lacked privacy especially during the evening . Couldn’t find some of the manuals on how to use heating, cooker etc .

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your recent stay at Little Elms. We are very glad to hear that you liked the property however we are disappointed to read your feedback on the blinds and that you couldn't find the instruction manuals. We have spoken to the housekeeper who will look at the blinds and wish you had contacted them about the manuals which are located in the kitchen drawer.

Fantastic stay for 2 adults and young children

Lovely base for exploring with a well equipped kitchen. Our 2 young children fit comfortably in the bunk beds. We had an issue with the water temperature but good communication and we were happy with the outcome. Would definitely recommend Stow on the Wold and this property. Looking forward to visiting again.

Lovely way to enjoy the Cotswolds

Two of us stayed here in January. It is a well equipped and well appointed location. Everywhere was very clean and tidy. Everything worked well. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom and shower were fine. The outside temperature was pretty cold so it took a while to heat the place when we first arrived but when we got it right it was comfortable. The location is perfect - right on the market square and the facilities in Stow are excellent - good places to eat and drink and some lovely shopping.

A Wonderful Base to Explore The Cotswold Region

if you're interested in exploring the Cotswolds.you can't beat this property. Stow is a great small town with many restaurants,bakery and shops and the rental is right on the square. Parking wasn't an issue if you're exploring the area. during the day. By the time you return,there's plenty. And,if not,parking at the Tesco is only a short walk away. The house is comfortable and well equipped. Definitely would stay there again.

Cosy home stay in quiet Cotswolds town

The property is centrally located in Stow-on-the-Wold and perfectly placed to enjoy what the town has to offer during the day. After 4pm midweek, the town has very little to offer besides a number of pubs (no bad thing in itself) but this is no reflection on the property, as we were grateful to be staying in such a comfortable and well-equipped property. It's well positioned for exploring the rest of the Cotswolds, and we were fortunate enough to be able to park directly outside which was really useful for loading and unloading with a baby. We really enjoyed our stay and its a shame we couldn't have stayed longer.

Perfect location

We had a lovely stay at the Little Elms. It was perfectly located right in the market square. The home was fully equipped with any kitchen items you might need. Our only issue with the place was with the shower. We were unable to change the temperature of the water so it was extremely hot the entire time. Other than that, it was perfect for our family of 3. Would certainly recommend to friends and family.

Beautiful cottage

Beautiful cottage right in the centre of Stow on the wold. Beautifully decorated and lovely and clean. We didn't manage to park outside the cottage as someone was there already. However this didn't matter, as literally 5 mins away a 72hour free car park. The people in the area were really friendly. The shops and restaurants were lovely. Had an after tea and went for a lovely countryside walk. Totally switched off during our family stay. Will definately be coming back soon. Thank you x

Character house in a fantastic location

We spent a week staying in Little Elms and it was fantastic. The location is sensational, right on the square in the heart of the village and the house has everything you need. Parking was never an issue for us as we were almost always able to get an unlimited parking space right out the front (at least overnight) and there was usually plenty of space in the square. Failing that, it was only a very short walk from the Tesco supermarket long-term parking. Stow on the Wold is a great, central location for exploring most of the Cotwolds and it suited us perfectly. We did a walking tour of the village on Sunday offer by the local civil society which was well worth doing. Overall, a fantastic place in an absolutely wonderful village.

Wonderful home in the heart of the town

We arrived to the property on a warm sunny day and found the property to be lovely and cool inside. Though it was busy outside it was quiet inside. The facilities throughout the property were excellent. Very comfy huge bed in the master bedroom. We were able to sit on the grass outside the property and enjoy the late afternoon sunshine. We managed to park on the little lay-by outside the house which was a bonus as meant we weren’t moving cars around. The only missing for me personally was a bathtub! After a long walk a soak in the bath would have made this the ultimate relaxation stay! Excellent location for drinks, food, walks and a handful of shops. Will definitely return.
